Be nice!!!

I think you should be helpful and kind by starting a squad to help them. I've taken the honour of making your squads nose art.

Dawn of Aces had a free week around the 4th of July holiday. There were quite a few people that came in to check the game out.

The veterans flew around in packs and decimated the newbies to the point of embarassing them. I'm curious as to how many new accounts they generated by that promotional event.

Just something to think about before making fun of the skill of newbies.

Hey! You were a newbie meat once to.
Don't forget that.

I fully recall being newbie meat for a very long time. I'm not that much better right now

Westy, good one

DJ, that was a joke, and it was pointed more toward myself, than to anyone else. I for sure prefer a long good fight with an ace than 20 kills of newbies. And btw, when you will next time fly with bishops pay attention who usually answer on new pilots questions.

Fariz,

I know it was a joke. Just pointing out that more than a few new customers might not find it quite as funny. Some might even see it as taunting just a tad bit. Some might even take a tad bit of offense to the baby harp seal comment.

Ok, DJ, I see your point. Let's ban Westy from the game, he is nasty!

D.J!! <slaps own forehead> I wasn't thinking. How thoughtless of me.

Would it help things if made a tutorial?

p.s have a bran muffin tommorow and then call the Dr. for a humour prescription.

The cartoons aren't really the point.

Beating the hell out of the newbies in the MA is. Hell of a way to say welcome to AH.

Maybe you should try a bran muffin too.. might loosen things up enough for you to remove your head.

DJ, can you tell the difference between web board humour and actual online treatment of new people?

I was treated very well as a newbie, and to this day as well.

It was that initial love and guidence from the AH community that made me spend umteen hours figuring out how to beat the piss out of them.

Come to think of it, they never were THAT good. Now Im just so whoopee better than them, it's funny in retrospect.
